Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popover Bites

If you’re going to have breakfast, have BREAKFAST.

You all know how much I like popovers, and for good reason.  They are so quick, so easy, and I always have the main ingredients to make them.  Plus, adaptable?  Holy yes.  Add chocolate, or add fruit, add peanut butter or flavorings.  Or, make them savory by adding hashbrowns and sausage, cheeses, herbs.  Totally changeable, totally delicious.

These popovers you can make with your mini muffin pan, and I know a lot of you are going to be fans of that.  Yes, I know I own 3 different official popover pans, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again now – you DO NOT NEED ONE.  You can use a muffin pan!  I’ve found the results are ever bit as tasty, though they do look a bit different.  The taste is what matters though.

What matters with THIS recipe is that, well, look at them.  Chocolate Covered Strawberries.  For breakfast.  They are divine hot out of the oven, so that the chocolate gets a little melty, but if you wanted to cart these off for a brunch or potluck, you totally could.  Being bite-sized is a beautiful thing.

Give them a go – you won’t be sorry.
